Scalea has for many years been a major holiday resort for the Italians. Having nine kilometres of unspoilt beach lapped by the warm waters of the Mediterranean and framed by a spectacular mountain backdrop is just one of the reasons for its popularity.

Calabria is now known as one of the last bastion of traditional Italian life, here for the duration of your holiday you can see it, live it, eat it, and be it!

The old town of Scalea dates back some 800 years, but with the new town at its feet one can experience all walks of Italian life.

Casa Cielo lies in the heart of Scalea’s historical centre. Owned and run by your English hosts Clive and Kathryn, a warm welcome and a very traditional Italian holiday tailored around your every needs awaits you.

Take three national parks with scenery of outstanding natural beauty, and a rugged coastline of breathtaking views. Add warm hearted people and a fabulous all year round climate, sprinkle with the best of Italian cuisine and wine.

Welcome to Calabria!
